They raise their heads watching as thou passeth by... curious and very innocent in their special way, but intelligent beyond belief. Creatures of such majestic beauty as to boggle the mind of the mere human.

These wondrous animals of myth and legend are the Unicorn. Mysterious and unequaled in beauty these marvels have come to call parts of the castle grounds a safe haven and home. They are under the full protection of the Princess Nightflames and the guards of her Order of the Onyx Flame...therefore they tend to walk freely and without fear hereabouts, so it is without much regard that they observe thee.

Although females of their species are not totally unheard of...these were originally magically created creatures, and for the most part the ones thou doth hear of or see about are male. This would also take into account the part of legends wherefore explaining the irresistable draw they feel for the true and pure innocence of heart of the virgin maidens as told. If thou art one of those rare and unusual individuals just mentioned, they may even approach thee as thou doth walk down the way seeking to be petted and for some reason finding comfort in thine company... otherwise... they pay thee no great heed at all.
